    Code security scanning tool (SAST) to discover, filter and prioritize security and privacy risks.

    Good news! There’s a free open-source tool that can scan your code, check for known risks, and give you a list of things that need fixing. All are sorted by how risky the code is—based on things like how sensitive the data is and how damaging a breach or leak would be. It’s called Bearer.

    It's a big ask to put something in your pipeline or test flow, but I really love just using it as a one-off scan as I'm building something new. Kind of like linting, but for security. Right now the main security scan supports ruby and JS/TS codebases. Give it a try—you can use our test repo if you like. Let us know what you think and if there's something you'd like to see added open an issue on GitHub.
